What an amazing little dog!

This showed up on a terrier rescue group a day or two ago. The dog is
actually an apparent Cairn Terrier. None of the 3 nationwide Cairn
rescue groups can currently underwrite the cost of surgery, but they are
notifying applicants who have qualified for a dog from them in the
region to apply to the clinic for adoption, in an attempt to get the dog
into a responsible home for recovery as quickly as possible. However,
it wouldn't surprise me of one of the vet techs at the clinic ends up
with the dog. Seems to happen that way often.

Tough and determined little bugger. And a heart-tugging tale.

Jo, the vet costs are being provided gratis by local vets, so no
donations are needed. The dog's family lost their home in the tornado.
The owner appears to be devoted to the dog, so I have to assume that
the little guy will end up back with him/them after he fully recovers.
He made need to be fostered though (after surgery, etc.) until his
owners are back to living in a house or apartment. Yeah, it wouldn't
surprise me either if a vet tech takes him until he can be reunited
with his owners permanently.

Yeh, I know the care is donated by the vet, but often a breed rescue
will try to chip in..... encourages the vet to repeat the service.

Knew, too that the owners turned in the dog to the local animal because
they can no longer care for it. I'd like to Think they may be able to
take the dog back.... but reality says that this may not happen.... Is
not likely to happen....

Referring to The President of The United States of America as "1st dog & dogman" is both childish and Un-American!
